Once On The Dial.

I had a nice surprise today. During my travels I came across a mailbox with a "Radio 600 CFQC Saskatoon" sticker on it. I'm sure I haven't seen one of those in twenty years or more. I really should have taken a picture. Fortunately I came across a photo of it at the Radio Sticker of the Day blog. It's the style at the top of the post. Of course the one in the photo is much nicer looking than the faded example I saw. Several decades on a mailbox will do that to an image.

My family were consistent listeners to CFQC in the '70s. However we eventually began to listen to CBC for some reason. Perhaps we just changed our tastes, I really can't remember. CJWW currently holds the station's old 600 khz frequency assignment, while the callsign lives on via the local CTV station.
